Connecting 2 matchservers

[Ronny786]

Guys do u have any ideas , how to connect 2 matchservers..
i mean i have matchserver on VPS1 in UK and other on VPS2 in USA .. How to combine both matchservers? Suppose a player playing in UK connects to server, he should automatically redirect to USA server where players are ON.

i guess you can understand what i want to say !!

Reason: ping will be reduced (country lag reduction) and more players at one place !

Can anyone explain me the concept or logic ?

I know this server should be newly coded but i need some more ideas ..

If they use VPN or proxy, it doesn't make sense. but...

Idea 1, Check connection IP of Locator, and send different server list to the client.
Idea 2, Check Ping of client - matchserver (just once), and Disconnect (with error messages?) the client if it higher.

That's all.

Have the database on 1 server have your second vps connect to the first via odbc and have the proper ips to connect to the first vps and only run matchserver and match agent on the second vps in the database have it point the ip to your second vps and you can keep the ports the same

What do you mean fail? I did this with two computers on my home network back with the 05 files

Very simple, configure locator, configure system.xml, have 1 server connect to the other servers database, or have a mid point server to host the mssql server (better especially if the servers are far apart).

Remember to configure mssql server to allow outside connections.

Very simple.
